Wow! She is incredible, I've only just discovered her music in my 30s, in the last couple of years and she's one of my favourite artists. Her beautiful and honest lyrics on love and dating still feel so poignant to life today, I have her playing on repeat! Big fan from Australia
Bettye Swanne is a floor filler at every Northern Soul venue in the UK. Her unique voice and superb delivery are timeless, we do and always will love her. Great production Chance, once again you have done this Lady proud. - well done Sir!!
Same here in another comment on another channel I shared my comment. My sisters and I played it over and over again. Then we would sing it. Both of my sisters are now deceased. RIP to them.
its a shame didnt get more recognition or money for her music one of most unsung singer with one greatest voice i ever heard this reusure me that the best sometime don't make it A DAM SHAME
I ALWAYS enjoy your presentations on the artists who perhaps didn't have lengthy prominent careers but who were/are great . It's also interesting to see how the Europeans embrace theses artists even now. Thanks for another show and music history lesson, Mike.
It's about time somebody told the BETTYE SWANN story! Oh and it should be known that Leon Haywood played on the "Make Me Yours". He showed me the picture that included himself at the piano taken at the recording session!!!
When I hear this song Make Me Yours it takes me back to 1967 being a teenage girl such a beautiful time and I just love this song I can listen to it everyday all day so beautiful
This song is one that my Mom always loved! Make Me Yours! She played it a lot! I loved that song too! She was the most under rated artist! Her music lives on! Thanks for giving us this review! 💕🎶
I first heard about Bettye Swann in that Blues and Soul interview in 1972. I bought a reissue of the Make me yours album from the Blues and Soul (Contempo) record shop in Hanway Street in my teens. Loved this documentary. Great work, Chance B
Was surprised to hear John Dolphins name. He was someone who had a very interesting life and he died mysteriously as well. The book about his life "Recorded In Hollywood: The John Dolphin Story" is a great read. Just watched Bettye Swann performing live in 2013 on a different RUclips video.
Thanks so much for making this video on Bettye Swann. I discovered Bettye over ten years ago and have listened to ever since. She could do so much with a country song. There was no one who sounded like her.
I Love It Mr.Chancelor.What I Will Never Understand Is How Great Artist With Exceptional Voices A Lot Of Times With Bad Production Techniques Don't Make It 😔This Woman Has A Phenomenal Voice Is What Gets Me... I Love Her Music ♥️
She's tops in my book.. I could be wrong, but I believe today I started Loving you again was written by Merle Haggard and Bonnie Owens. I've heard a recording of Bettye and Buck doing that song together and it's freaking killer..... a perfect blend of their individual styles in my opinion.
I like her singing.seems like she should gone with fame or stax or Philly at some point or sooner..what a voice.make me yours was the community anthem with the girls in junior high and high school
Make me yours was close to BARBRA ALKIN OR BARBRA MASON. IM SO GLAD SHE FOUND HER FANS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. THEY DIDNT FORGET HER. CHANCELLOR YOU SHOULD ALLSO DO BRENDA REID OF EXCITERS SHE STILL AROUND AND I TALK TO HER ON UTUBE. SHE ALLSO HAD GREAT MATERIAL
I'm glad she never went to Motown. Motown had talented female singers they never had any idea what to do with. Kim Weston, Brenda Holloway, Carolyn Crawford. Motown didn't develop their careers. Bettye Swann would have probably been lost in the mix at Motown.
I don't think Make Me Yours got to the 30 second mark before I became a fan! She was one hell of a singer and songwriter! John Dolphin was probably rolling in his grave when she left that company! Who else did Money Records have on their label not to promote her!? Capitol and Columbia Records were to labels R&B artist in the 60's should stay away from!!
Thank you for making this Betty Swann is my great-grandma and I'm glad that people can still recognize her and all be polite
Your grandmothers music is legendary
Loved her since the 60 my parents loved her play her music over and over and over
Wow! She is incredible, I've only just discovered her music in my 30s, in the last couple of years and she's one of my favourite artists. Her beautiful and honest lyrics on love and dating still feel so poignant to life today, I have her playing on repeat! Big fan from Australia
Bettye Swann has the best voice that no ones ever heard off.....Her voice has "Beautiful Pain" in it....

I was a kid when “ Make Me Yours” came out. My older sisters had her record, and they would play it over and over, it was one of my favorite record.
Same here in another comment on another channel I shared my comment. My sisters and I played it over and over again. Then we would sing it. Both of my sisters are now deceased. RIP to them.
That was my jam in the sixties and dancing with my first love ❤️.This is song we danced to.I’m still listening in 2021❤️

its a shame didnt get more recognition or money for her music one of most unsung singer with one greatest voice i ever heard this reusure me that the best sometime don't make it A DAM SHAME
She is my great grandma and she is happy just to have people like you
Bettye could have been a "Beauty Queen" also Southern Girl!!!!!😍🤩🤩
One of my favorite artist. Thank you for the history lesson on Ms. Bettye Swann.
You're very knowledgeable the artists back stories and the musicians who played on them
Sad she didn’t get the promotion she needed because all her music is fire ! She gets all day play in my car
I still play Make Me Yours on a regular basis..Classic Soul
Say..wow..My father Preston Love contracted horns for the late 60s capital lp..he's on saxes and flutes there..
The woman has a beautiful voice thank you for posting this
Thank you oh and I say that cuz she is my great grandma and I'm glad people still remember her
I love the Knowledge that you give on the artist it so educational and it brings back memories
Bettye Swann is a superstar on the northern soul scene in the UK.
The UK always appreciates good music by so many Black artists. Bettye Swann is one of the many great singers whose name should be known by many!
@@brianalejandro5746 Exactly! 👍💕

This woman was well before my time....but my daddy always played many of her songs...

Hi bland
Hi yy
It's about time somebody told the BETTYE SWANN story! Oh and it should be known that Leon Haywood played on the "Make Me Yours". He showed me the picture that included himself at the piano taken at the recording session!!!
Thank you for this insightful music history, you're doing fabulous work. I truly wondered what happened to this talented lady. ❤
I love that you do features on artist who weren't even superstars in our community but who were well known.
One great thing about her life and career she did not do everything because of drugs beautiful thing
Roby Ayers playing vibes on "Make Me Yours". Cool!
When I hear this song Make Me Yours it takes me back to 1967 being a teenage girl such a beautiful time and I just love this song I can listen to it everyday all day so beautiful
Damn thathigh school senior picture of her was gorgeous i mean simply beautiful - WOW!

thanks chance b for the betty Swann story. I have most of her early years, but none of her later years. I was glad to hear them.

So much education in your video..SUPER work..
I Love It Mr.Chancelor.What I Will Never Understand Is How Great Artist With Exceptional Voices A Lot Of Times With Bad Production Techniques Don't Make It 😔This Woman Has A Phenomenal Voice Is What Gets Me... I Love Her Music ♥️
"closed for the season" a total gem and a great unknown song
Interesting that she became friends with Candi Staton. They have a similar sound. Very rocky career.
Monila Ninetynine
I thought the same thing! They both have that "ache" in their voice that make their heartache song seem true to life!
Make me yours.. I only knew that song. I can't believe that was her only hit..God Bless Her..🌹

"MAKE ME YOURS"!🎤
Sweet Dreams and These Arms of Mine
--my faves....
She's tops in my book.. I could be wrong, but I believe today I started Loving you again was written by Merle Haggard and Bonnie Owens. I've heard a recording of Bettye and Buck doing that song together and it's freaking killer..... a perfect blend of their individual styles in my opinion.
You know I just heard her today RIP
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
really good presentation!! I love Bettye Swan!
I like her singing.seems like she should gone with fame or stax or Philly at some point or sooner..what a voice.make me yours was the community anthem with the girls in junior high and high school
What can it be was a song my Dad wrote
my fav of hers is i want sunday back again
Thanks for sharing....good info.
Thanks Chance🥰
Hi Mike, and THANK YOU!!!
Please share>ruclips.net/video/6drx_h3nqBg/видео.html
Gotta find that compilation cd.
'Kiss My Love Goodbye' backed with Prince Philip Mitchell was issued in the early 2000s.
I WANT SUNDAY BACK AGAIN is another great song on Atlantic!
Make me yours was close to BARBRA ALKIN OR BARBRA MASON. IM SO GLAD SHE FOUND HER FANS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. THEY DIDNT FORGET HER. CHANCELLOR YOU SHOULD ALLSO DO BRENDA REID OF EXCITERS SHE STILL AROUND AND I TALK TO HER ON UTUBE. SHE ALLSO HAD GREAT MATERIAL
GREATNESS
Amen
I WISH SHE HAVE WHEN TO MOTOWN.
HUH?Please check your spelling or go back to school
Naw!! Barry, would have given her songs to Diana Ross! 🙄
I'm glad she never went to Motown. Motown had talented female singers they never had any idea what to do with. Kim Weston, Brenda Holloway, Carolyn Crawford. Motown didn't develop their careers. Bettye Swann would have probably been lost in the mix at Motown.
I was in love with her.
Mysteries & Scandals
'Florence Ballard
Or even hi records wow.
I wonder did Bettye swann record at capitol studios regularly or did she record at another studio while on capitol
Kiss my love goodbye and This old heart of mine are two of my favourites from Miss Swann.
I hear some similarity to Gladys Knight in her voice.
Make me yours!!!.. need I say more
She was born in 1944, not 1934.
I don't think Make Me Yours got to the 30 second mark before I became a fan! She was one hell of a singer and songwriter! John Dolphin was probably rolling in his grave when she left that company! Who else did Money Records have on their label not to promote her!? Capitol and Columbia Records were to labels R&B artist in the 60's should stay away from!!
Hope you like this musical retrospective on the 5 Stairsteps >ruclips.net/video/6drx_h3nqBg/видео.html
